You are my Everything, and I will Adore You

Romans 1:16-32
Vs 20 "For His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. so they are without excuse."

Paul is talking about how the people have become unrighteous even though God has showed Himself plainly to them. They are in the wrath of God, and Paul is saying that they don't have any excuse because God has shown Himself to them. This verse is saying that God's great power is shown clearly through creation. The earth screams of His goodness and power. From the gigantic stars that can fit inside a spoon, to atoms and parts of atoms that are unexplainable in behavior! How can we ignore it? How can we feign indifference? How can I go on in life ignoring the presence of God that is revealed around every corner? I am without excuse! Wow, I can't go through life and pretend I didn't know. There is no possible way you can't acknowledge the splendor of God's greatness. The earth is buzzing with it. It's like the wind, where does it come from? Where is it going? Where does it stop? It's so incredible, so strong and powerful and at the same time it is soft and refreshing. Now that I have seen God's love and power I am responsible! I can't go on the way I did before, I can't continue to ignore His voice. I can't walk away unchanged. I'm so aware of my weakness, my inability to see a bigger picture. I don't know what my life holds, what's around the corner. I'm tired of making my own decisions and watching them fail, watching them lead me nowhere, watching them hurt others and myself. I can't do this. I can't do this on my own! I have a responsibility to respond to what God is doing around me. There is no other option. Now that I have seen, felt, heard, I am responsible! Faith without action is dead. It's nothing. I can't even function without going to God about everything. Things run much smoother when God is involved. On my own, I am a mess. I want my whole heart, soul, mind, spirit to be focused on God alone. This is so hard. There are so many distractions. Things I want to hold onto. I am struggling hardcore. I am insanely overwhelmed, continually overwhelmed. My heart can't take much more of this, I am literally at a loss of breath constantly. Luckily for me, God doesn't ask me to do it all, to carry it all. All I have to do is hand it over, daily. His strength is so so much more than mine. His capacity is never ending. I feel like a cup that is overflowing and God is a huge bowl around me catching the rest. I need help. Thank-you Jesus for everything. Love, joy, peace, grace, forgiveness. I am in awe. I love you!
